Kintamani
Kintamani is one of the most beautiful areas of Bali and although this has in the past been highly frequented by tourists, it remains a less visited area and a forgotten beauty. With incredible views of the active volcanoes of Mount Batur and its beautiful Lake Batur there are also a number of enchanting little traditional Balinese villages all around the area. These six ancient villages are known as the Bail Age Villages and have unique cultures as well as differing houses and lifestyles. This large area is home to a population of around 15 thousand local people who all work these lands as farmers and traditional workers. Located in the center of the island Kintamani is easy to reach from any other area of Bali and there is great access from the south of the island. There are a number of tours available for those who wish to visit the area although the best way to enjoy the area is by staying in one of the boutique villas or hotels located around the villages.
